Resident urges Woodland Park to repair deep potholes on Pine Ridge Drive
Summary
A resident told council that Pine Ridge Drive has deep cracks and broken curbs that have damaged vehicles, creating safety concerns for pedestrians and school bus users; she said she submitted a petition to city staff.
Sarah Graves of Pine Ridge Drive told the council that the street outside her home has deteriorated, with deep cracks, broken curbs and potholes that she said have damaged vehicles and pose a safety risk to pedestrians and children catching the school bus. "The curb are broken. They're caused a damage on the cars," Graves said during public comment.
Graves said her daughter's vehicle was trapped in a deep hole after recent snow and required several neighbors’ assistance to free it. She said she and neighbors circulated a petition documenting the street problems and dropped it off at city offices last week, and that public works supervisors had viewed the damage. "We have kids going to drive going this from the road, going to a school bus," she said, arguing the city must act before someone is injured.
The council received the comment during the public‑comment portion of the meeting; no council response with a schedule for repairs was recorded in the transcript. Graves identified staff she had contacted by name during her remarks; the transcript shows she provided photos and said the petition was left on a staff desk.
